Telethia was last seen playing with three other children near her aunt's house in the 1700 block of Montpelier Street in Baltimore, Maryland at approximately 10:00 p.m. on September 10, 1978. Her mother left her at her aunt's home while she went to attend church services. She has never been heard from again. Her family reported her missing at 10:00 p.m.

Telethia's parents adopted her in Newark, New Jersey when she was an infant. She had only just recently learned this before she disappeared. Her family moved to Baltimore five years before her disappearance, and by 1978 her parents were divorced. She lived with her mother in the 1500 block of Montpelier Street and had visitation with her father every other weekend and for the last two weeks of the summer. Telethia was a first-grader at Coldstream Elementary School at the time of her disappearance, and enjoyed school. She has relatives in New Jersey and Virginia. Her case remains unsolved.
